The battery projects that just stopped being drawings.

Most storage projects are never built, which makes a list of them close to worthless. What matters is the milestone that commits one to a delivery window — a capacity market contract, a firm connection date — because it is dated and it carries penalties, which makes the procurement that may follow it far more likely than on a project with neither.

49.9 MW storage project commits to a build window

  • Milestone passed 12 September 2026; delivery window opens October 2027.
  • 49.9 MW, held by a project company incorporated in 2024.
  • The parent has taken three projects through the same milestone since 2024.
  • No main contractor announced.

49.9 MW with a dated window thirteen months out and nothing named yet, behind a parent that has done this three times and will do it again. This is the point at which main plant is specified.

An invented example of the shape of a card. See a real one, opened.

What puts a card here
A storage project passes the milestone that commits it to a dated delivery window.
When the money moves
The window is dated, and the date is on the record.
You sell
storage and solar EPC, switchgear, transformers, main plant

Three things the card tells you that a list cannot.

The application is the start of it. What makes the call worth making is what the other records say about the company holding it, 13 of them read together.

The size of the market first, without names: UK battery storage projects, counted weekly on CapexRadar, the engine behind Stanfell.

  1. The capacity in megawatts and the date the window opens, so you know whether it is this year's pipeline or the next.
  2. The project company, the developer behind it, and whether that developer has built anything before.
  3. Whether any lender has already registered security against the project company: a sign of money behind it, not proof the build is funded.

Who reads this one.

  • Storage EPC contractors
  • Battery, inverter and PCS suppliers
  • Transformers and switchgear
  • Containerised systems and balance of system
  • Owner's engineers

Questions about this one.

How is this different from a list of battery storage projects?
A list includes every project that has been proposed, most of which will never be built. A card is a project that has just committed to a date, which is the one fact that separates a real procurement from a hopeful one.
Do you name the EPC if one is appointed?
Where it is on the record, yes. More often it is not yet, and the card says so, because an unlet project is exactly the one worth calling about.
